    Yeah, I agree. I treat all of my customers (residential and commercial) like they are the only ones that I have. It has paid off well, as they help me to grow bigger by always referring me to other people, as well as by being repeat customers as well.

    I especially love contractors who get contracted to do a store cleanout. First one I ever did, brought me in close to $650.
